Type species. Elephantomyia canadensis ( Westwood, 1835) .
The genus is represented by more than 130 extant species, which occur mainly in tropical and subtropical regions like: Neotropic, Afrotropic ( Oosterbroek, 2015). Over 20 species are represented in oriental region, over 10 species in Palearctic, Australian and Oceanian, while only three species were reported from Nearctic region.
Until recently, only six fossil species have been described, mainly from Eocene Baltic amber ( Loew, 1851; Alexander, 1931; Kania, 2015) and one species from Oligocene Dominican amber ( Podenas and Poinar, 2001).
